There is no career airline pilot that does not have representation....



Just curious... what is the top part of the seniority list a jB think about the JBPA?
 
Recently the company " Re Distributed The Wealth "

Have we heard this before?

they did away with PTS ( Paid Time Sick ) being paid at premium. As you may know every hour over 70 is paid at 150% here at JB

For Example :If a senior captain has a 25 hour trip that will put him at 95 hrs of cred for the month the complete trip is paid at premium

Now a good average for a 7 to 8 year capt is just under $200 per hr at premium. So the capt grosses $5000 for the trip

Now if he gets sick and calls off he will get paid if he take PTS ( paid time sick which we accrue pto at 9 hrs per month ) but he will lose $2000 in premium pay

So in effect the company is penalizing you for being sick or rewarding you for flying sick. This affects all pilots now however the 320 Capt has the greatest loss.

The savings in this area was redistributed to mid and senior A320 FO's as a year 4 12.3% raise and a year 5 5% raise and to E190 captains

then the company puts some propaganda on the daily news of our website for all employees to see how there was a recent pay adjustment with increases across the board for all pilots making us compensated at or above industry average however the company realized a cost neutral solution.

I am sure there were many sub 400 guys on the list that were on the fence or against it but after this decided that they better send in their cards.

Wow........so you guys really didn't use my 50 bucks for cheap liquor and hookers?

Good luck. I hear the top third of the list isn't too excited about voting a union in.
 
Wait a second, don't be hasty. There is a fine pilot union in Charlotte, known as USAPA that would welcome the chance to offer you their patented, first class, representational services. Their list of accomplishments is as follows:
